The binary format provides various benefits, such as
- faster
- easier to 'grep' (way more advanced stuff is available)
A text format is provided by running "journalctl". You can pipe this do
a file and have the exact same information. Additionally, you can still
run syslog and get everything like you have it as now.
IMO this addresses every concern, right?
